ROS c++ Class Subscriber doesn't work while publishing in constructor

edit

Hi, The following code subscribes to topics containing data of individual wheel angular velocities, I am simply combining them and publishing the Odometry of the base_link.

I've been trying to do everything in the class itself but when I am running the While loop which is publishing the Odometry in the constructor the Subscriber Callback functions don't work. In the following code callback functions don't work. While rostopic info shows that I am subscribing to those topics but the callbacks just don't run.

When I remove the while loop from the constructor and place it inside one of the callbacks , Everything runs smoothly

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/TwistStamped.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/Pose2D.h"
#include "nav_msgs/Odometry.h"
#include <stdio.h>

    sub1 = n_.subscribe<geometry_msgs::TwistStamped>("left_wheel_odom", 10, &Wheelodom::odomCallback_l, this);
    sub2 = n_.subscribe<geometry_msgs::TwistStamped>("right_wheel_odom", 10, &Wheelodom::odomCallback_r, this);
